NFL Draft Central

Grabbed him off waivers a couple weeks ago, and also just added Slaton. Don't think slaton will be starting anytime soon by any means, but he's certainly talented. I think starting Morris at RB against the saints would be a great move for the Redskins; he's looked far better than Royster this preseason. Sounds like Helu's a bit beat up still also (although he looked good against a terrible bucs backup defense)

2nd that. You can't overvalue character. That's the kid who becomes a leader like London Fletcher in 10 years. And if your smart enough to hold onto him the whole 10+ years you probably go to the Superbowl somewhere in there. London deserves another Superbowl. Sounds like A Morris has that kind of character. Can't think of a better reason to chat with his bro.

I've been a bit disappointed with Helu in just the few opportunities he's had, which aren't many I realize. But he doesn't look as fast as last year and def doesn't seem to be running as hard either. Morris is def the 1st option. If he stays healthy I see a 1000+ yard season pretty easily.

Morris was definitely a sixth round steal. I like everyone else, I like his running style. He reminds me a lot of Stephen Davis. Straight downhill and he's always driving forward for more yardage. If he does top 1,000 yards, it would make me glad. We haven't had a 1,000 yard rusher in four years.

I know of a rookie that rushed for over 1800 yards his rookie season. (Dickerson)

Barry did it too, I think he had around 1300 or so, and I think its actually quite common for rookie running backs to have over 1000 yards. I think its something like 30 or 40 rooks to have done it. I just dont think its as rare as you think.

* Just looked this up, there have bee 56 rooks to hit the mark of 1000. Even the Redskins had their own, good ol Reggie Brooks, in 1993.
